Carl Fritsche

A lovely original composition from Carl Fritsche, Kitty's Waltz is a really relaxed, laid back piece, with great harmonic & melodic structure. Sometimes Jazz Waltzes are over complicated & lose their feel. This tune glides, the melody & variations get passed round the sections, so there's something for everyone, plus a Trumpet solo (as written or ad lib) midway. If you're looking for an arrangement that's straightforward & rewarding for both players & listeners, we heartily recommend Kitty's Waltz. Learn More

The Sorcerer is another original composition from Carl Fritsche, & is very different from most of our offerings. It is a relaxed laid-back groove with an ethereal, almost modal quality to it. Technically not at all difficult, though the rhythm section needs to be tight. Written solo for 1st Alto, & nice phrase exchanges & sectional interplay make The Sorcerer a really good chart to play.
